Why should I build my hangar out of steel?

Pound for pound, Steel is Stronger than Wood. You have to use more wood in a building to equal the strength of a steel building. Steel can span farther distances with less material to give you the clear unobstructed spans you need. You also do not have to worry about rot of insect infestations eating away at your framing.

Yes, Kentucky Steel Manufactures special wall columns for churches, The Cathedral Truss Column. The columns are 8” wide straight up to 8’6” then tapers out.
